Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69782 of 2025(4) dt.21-01-2026 2/3 although there are specific allegations of assault attributed to these petitioners but the injury reports which are available in the case diary would indicate that all these injuries are simple in nature and caused by hard and blunt substance. The nature of injury of Satrughan Sharma has been reserved but it appears that the same is caused by hard and blunt object and that too on a non-vital part of the body. It is further submitted that there is a case and counter case between the parties arising out of a land dispute. Furthermore, the F.I.R. itself has been lodged after a delay of five days for which no explanation has been tendered.
5. The application for anticipatory bail is opposed by learned A. P.P. for the State.
